Laptop is in perfect condition, no scratches at all, I am one of those people that baby their laptop to the point where people stare at me with weird looks becuase I baby my stuff so much. I have the bag that fits it which is $120 now and I have only used it twice. It was more of just bought so I could have a bag for it.

I paid $2,248 for it and the laptop is going on amazon new for $2,599. I have the box, the discs, everything.

Now, for what is included:
Laptop: $2,599 New (which it is)
Bag: $120
Restore disc (never been used)
Drivers disc (never been used)
Box
Pretty much everything it came with.

Now onto why I am selling it.

It is a great laptop, and I really love it, but I use it as a desktop. I never move it and if I had a desktop, i could get better graphics and such. I am trying to get enough for a desktop with a decent graphics card.

For a general idea of how good this laptop is, It can run BF4 maxed out at 60FPS with VSync on. And by BF4, I mean online, with lag and high pingers

Thanks for reading.
 


But that is only $625, that CAN'T be right.

If I restore it, it is new.

This is the latest model, it just came out.
 


Mk was doing my math wrong lol, could I take the current price of it? Like I mean it is $2600, so I could get $1950
 


$2k for a 6 month old used laptop? Not a chance.
Anyone that would spend $2k for a laptop would spend $2.5k for a new one.
